Tonight, I’ll write a villanelle but wait,
My dedication wavers just as luck
What’s left of my poor heart, distraught and plain.
I’ve grabbed a pen and paper all in vain,
My perseverance due, right words are stuck;
Tonight, I’ll write a villanelle but wait,
My heart beats fast; there’s this last gate
Unlocked and seeping through its precious pluck
What’s left of my poor heart, distraught and plain.
Piano strings wave byes tonight, no way
For me to sing or play, instead, star-struck
Tonight, I’ll write a villanelle but wait
For this last gem of thought, before I claim
This poem. Firmly, in my palm, I tuck
What’s left of my poor heart, distraught and plain.
And this last truth, I spill before your gaze
For none to see, ‘tis your dismissive shrug:
Tonight, I’ll write a villanelle but wait,
What’s left of my poor heart, distraught and plain?
